Sweet, those are awesome. Doing all the airbrushing yourself? That’s more time consuming than paint work. To make it look nice like that you have to put an insane amount of hours and have dedication to perfection.

It has been a very long time since my last airbrushing. Decades. I have some things I wish that I could have done better, but will live with what I have now. 20/20 airbrushing...20 feet at 20 mph it should look good ;)
Waiting on foam to upholster the inside panels. Cut the panels while I had the panels for pattern. The fabric I have had stored for years waiting. It will be nice to get those done and ready :)

Having played with an airbrush myself, that's your less than perfect work? OH, Please share the good stuff, I really want to see that, you did more way more than fine there! Harry

Having done some airbrushing as well, I'd have to agree with Harry. I actually repaired airbrushes As a job for about 10 years, I'm better at fixing them than using them artistically. I do use one when in autobody painting as they are great to get into tight spaces or through opening and holes that would be difficult or impossible to get into with a regular or touch up gun.

All done and ready to go.

The clear helped them out quite a bit. Should look pretty cool under the streetlights at night. The clear darkened the dolphins a little. I was glad to see that :)
(Very hard to get a good picture without reflections.)
The GT emblems match the NITROUS emblem on the grille. The blue lettering was a pretty good match.

Love where your going with the wagon.
Back in the early to mid 80’s there was a Pinto in my town that had that type of airbrushing. While I appreciate today’s “Foose” type cars, to me there’s nothing better than the styling of the 70’s and 80’s.
Well done.
